Overall Meaning

The chorus conveys the desperation of the singer to find the person they miss and can't stop thinking about. The use of the Korean words "bulmyeonjeung" and "tteutteuru" help convey the feeling of restlessness and the urgency to find the person they are searching for.


The verses describe the physical and emotional toll of the sleepless nights and the inability to let go of the memories. The line "Uh soyongeopsji sumyeonjega" adds to the heartbreak of the song, implying that even if the singer could sleep, it would not take away the pain of missing the person they love. The bridge is particularly poignant, as it speaks of trying to forget the memories without success and the despair of being unable to move on from the relationship.
